Sunny John III Building Frame

The frame is made up entirely of standard "two by" lumber pre-fabbed in our shop. Most of the material was salvaged. The depth of the walls was created by spacing 2x4's apart with small scraps of plywood.  Once the framing is done, light clay material is stuffed into the walls.  Check this site out for more info.  Detailed construction drawings of the frame are available from Going Concerns Unlimited.
